I'm gonna bump this old thread for the kratom heads and for the dude at Herbal-RVA. Been buying the stuff for quite a long time, but never had a more consistent quality/fast service/price than from them. Went through mitragaia, canopy, (who are all good in their own ways too) etc. And granted it's only been six months or so I've been messing with them, so they're quality definitely could've improved since this thread was made. Their premium maeng das alone are worth trying imo.
And yeah kratoms one of those things that's pretty finicky. Very much depends on what works for you, I believe reds are generally considered to be least potent by weight. Many people don't find reds to be great. But yeah sometimes it's just a mild thing. I've always fucked with greens 75% of the time they just have the best alkaloid balance imo.
